Any advice?
Hi there,
My partner and I have been dating for over a year, and are now facing our first deployment as a couple. Recently I have found he has been distant and really closed off towards me and I have been panicking a lot over it. Recently I had a lapse in my anxiety journey which I think scared him off a little, we are still communicating but not like we used to. Has any other military spouse/partner experienced something like this? TIA
I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it’s tough, especially with a deployment. It’s common for military partners to feel distant at times, and anxiety can make it even harder. It sounds like you're being really self-aware, which is great. A lapse in anxiety might’ve affected things, but it's important to acknowledge it. Have you been able to talk to him about how you're feeling?
